Thanks for pointing this one out, I had looked ad censorNet, nice looking package, though our firewall filtering etc is all county supplied.
So's ours - you can use CensorNet in a number of topologies. We run it as a classic "side" proxy. The client browsers are configured to use it as a proxy.
I have installed squid & squidguard which might work, but it looks like I have to re-start squid to reload the settings.
CensorNet does it's access control at the MAC level. So basically it firewalls certain MACs at certain times. No restarting of processes needed.
I think our it staff are after something that they can turn access on and off again every 10 mins during lessons without affecting other rooms.
You can do this - we have a profile for each room. You could set each room up with a simple check box - on or off. The changes take up to five minutes to take effect. (They are reloaded every five minutes via cron - you could adjust this though.) Sorry, I don't want to sound like I'm flogging this thing - it's just that there are a lot of ways CensorNet can be used. Tony
